GP-S and GP-SS Ballheads

Samy's Camera — Wed, 09 May 2012 07:00:00 GMT

The Acratech GP-S and GP-SS Ballheads have all the benefits and features of our GP Ballhead, including the ability to function as a gimbal head and as a panoramic head.

GH1780QR Series 1 Quick Release Center Ball Head with Bubble Sphere

Samy's Camera — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 08:00:00 GMT

Gitzo is renowned for its beautiful range of high performance tripods that represent the state of the art of the market. Now Gitzo launches a completely new and innovative range of center ball heads, engineered to be the perfect match to our tripods. These heads are designed to be an extremely balanced product, that not only guarantee a high max load, but that also maximize other key features, too often overlooked by the end users. These features include smoothness, minimized drift angle, lightweight, low gravity center, greater tilt angles, compactness, ergonomics and safety.

This is achieved by means of unique and exclusive technical solutions, such as the hollow Bubble Ball, the Spring Assisted Double Lock (SADL) and the leveling system. The Bubble Ball allows for an impressive weight reduction and it gives these heads the best weight to max load ratio in the market. The revolutionary SADL system combined to the PTFE treated Bubble Ball guarantees both an exceptional locking power and ultra smooth high precision movement. The new leveling system made of three independent leveling bubbles on the quick release plate and one in the ball stem, always guarantee perfectly leveled images. The problem that affects many high quality heads in the market regarding the drift angle is absolutely minimized with an outstanding value of 0,03 degree. The quick release plate, besides the traditional double safety system, features a new lever operated locking for increased safety and compactness. The new Gitzo ball heads include a convenient Anti Dust Bag for storage and packing. The textile anti dust bag is also a support to environmental protection; aiming to reduce the amount of plastic bags the world industry produces every year.

FEATURES:

SPRING LOCK - The center SADL (Spring Assisted Double Lock) is a patent pending system that combines two locking systems in one, that maximizes both locking power and ball smoothness. A high friction metal guarantees a high efficiency lock, the PTFE bushing controlled by a pre loaded spring maximizes smoothness and control.
SAFE GRIP - Safe Grip is a material that gives a safer lock between your camera and the head plate, preventing the camera from moving or slipping. It is used on quick release plates and in applications where the camera equipment is screwed to the support to reduce pivoting and twisting.
EPARATE PAN CONTROL - When using a ball head, the ability to lock and unlock the panoramic movement independent of front-back or lateral tilt movements is convenient for panoramic photography and when a high level of control is required.
LEVELING BUBBLE - The new leveling system made of three independent leveling bubbles on the quick release plate and one in the ball stem, always guarantee perfectly leveled images. The problem that affects many high quality heads in the market regarding drift angle is absolutely minimized with an outstanding value of 0,03 degree.
DOUBLE QUICK RELEASE SAFETY SYSTEM - The system consists of two pins, one fixed and one manually operated by means of a button, that prevent camera equipment from suddenly dropping out of the head when the quick release locking knob is released. Extremely useful with heavy equipment, long lenses and spotting scopes.
BUBBLE BALL - Gitzo has now developed a new exclusive technology that enables us to produce high quality, completely round hollow spheres, with a ultra thin wall, for an incredible weight reduction. Gitzo Bubble Ball also features a perfected PTFE treatment that further reduces the surface micro roughness for the ultimate shooting experience and accuracy.

Redesigned from the ground-up, the G2270M is part of three low-profile rationelle heads that are now even more efficient and silky smooth due to an advanced built-in fluid system, making them not only ideal for photographic use, but also birdwatching and mini DV cameras.

Made of high quality low weight magnesium, the G2270M comes with a fixed long plate and is designed to carry a maximum capacity of up to 12 lbs. The G2270M also comes with multiple spirit levels to ensure that the head is perfectly level, while the ergonomically designed pan and tilt handles feature easy-to-use triangular shaped rubber grips.

These anti-rotation pins are stored in pre-drilled holes under the head when not in use.

The G2272M is part of three new low-profile rationelle heads that are now even more efficient and silky smooth due to an advanced built-in fluid system, making them not only ideal for photographic use, but also birdwatching and mini DV cameras.

Normally, when shooting in portrait mode with a low-profile head, up and down tilt is lost. With the G2272M’s square non-keyed QR plate, the camera can be positioned in the adapter sideways so that when it’s positioned in portrait mode up and down tilt is available. In addition, by keeping any side of the mounting plate parallel to the back or front of the camera will ensure perfect alignment without having to worry how the plate fits on the adapter. Made of high quality low weight magnesium, the G2272M is designed to carry a maximum capacity of up to 12 lbs.

The G2272M also comes with multiple spirit levels to ensure that the head is perfectly level, while the ergonomically designed pan and tilt handles feature easy-to-use triangular shaped rubber grips.

322RC2 Horizontal Grip Action Ball Head with RC2 Rapid Connect Plate

Samy's Camera — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 08:00:00 GMT

Take the versatility of a ball head, add true ergonomic control and you get the 322RC2: a photographic head that allows you to unblock, move, position and lock your camera with one hand in one position thanks to the revolutionary design of its grip handle, which incorporates the ball lock lever and can also mount the 322RS shutter release accessory. A friction control wheel lets you regulate the power of the blocking mechanism to match the weight of your camera/lens. The 322RC2 is made from magnesium for lightweight performance, and is designed to keep the weight of your kit as close as possible to the tripod's centre of gravity by way of its reduced height. It is this fact, matched with the precision construction of the 322RC2 that gives the head its load capacity of 5kg. Complete with built-in bubble spirit level and quick release camera plate (standard 1/4" screw, with secondary safety pin). Suitable for use with 35mm or medium format cameras.

FEATURES:

The built-in, carefully hand-set bubble spirit level helps make sure your horizons really are horizontal.
Separate control for pre-setting the friction of the ball when unblocked.
The position of the red line indicates the approximate amount of friction applied.
The compact, rectangular 200PL quick release plate system fits neatly under small-bodied still cameras up to SLR (even with tele lenses) or small medium format, or under small video cameras or spotting scopes.
Its rubber pad gives a good grip without damaging the camera, and its angled sides ensure that it also fits perfectly and tightly into a wide range of Manfrotto heads reversible center column allows head and camera to be mounted below the tripod - useful for: low-level shooting (because it keeps the tripod and your equipment out of the mud); working with heavy loads (because weight lowers the tripod's center of gravity, making it more stable) and also for use with "mirror-image" view cameras this head features a secondary security lock so you can't accidentally release the plate (and camera) without meaning to.
The lock stops the quick release lever from opening fully a convenient single locking mechanism blocks or frees movement on all axes for greater speed of use sturdy all-metal construction ergonomic and easy to use by keeping the head and camera mounting plate as low as possible, the camera is kept safely closer to the tripod's centre of gravity for more stable support

300N Panoramic Head

Samy's Camera — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 08:00:00 GMT

PANORAMIC HEAD / Cat. No: 300N
(Replaces the 3414 Panoramic Head).

The 300N allows the photographer to take sequential constant-angle shots around a single axis, an essential part of achieving accurate and easy-to-stitch panoramic compositions.

The set positions of the 300N give ample choice of rotation angle and also of the number of photos needed to complete a 360° pan. It covers the most common requests of panoramic photographers depending on the camera/lens equipment used.

To make angle selection easier, a “click-stop” selector screw is included and attached to a safety cable to prevent it from being separated from the head and getting lost. The 300N also comes complete with a secondary locking screw which stops unwanted or accidental rotation of the head when heavy or off-center equipment makes it less balanced or when the head is used for non-horizontal rotation.

The 300N can also be used as a turntable base for object panoramas, or as a means of reading the angle of rotation of camera pan movements in a range of photography. A camera can be mounted on the panoramic unit by adding one of a range of quick release, sliding or fixed plates or a conventional geared, ball or 3-way head.

Note: We highly recommend using the optional 3416 Leveling Base or an MDeVe tripod when using the 300N.

The 509HD systems are the result of an important technical evolution - the perfect synthesis between an innovative "bridge architecture" and Manfrotto's cutting edge engineering: Bridging Technology - an exclusive Manfrotto patent. Thanks to the 509HD's bridge design, the PAN friction control is intuitive and easy to set, but also protected against knocks. Movement around the PAN and TILT axes is smoothed by ball-bearing units which remove all unwanted vibration, no matter what the operating temperature. Friction control combines with a step counterbalance system (covering the full weight range of video equipment) to allow the 509HD to be fine-tuned with extreme precision for the exact in-shot movements you need. The 509HD's FDS (Fluid Drag System) is variable and directly controls action and resistance on both axes; the ergonomics of the controls have been noticeably improved to make use of the FDS even easier.

All of this guarantees ultimate control and excellent video camera support, no matter what the situation, the shooting style, or the equipment setup. The load capacity has also been improved: the 509HD supports kit up to 13kg (28,8lb) at 55mm c.o.g and two 3/8" threads on the top plate allow accessories, such as monitors and arms, to be fitted straight to the head, thus eliminating the need for extra clamps, saving set-up time and freeing the video camera's hot shoe for other components. The Manfrotto 509HD is itself a bridge, helping the professional videographer reach ever-better results, enabling your potential and leading ambitions on towards new challenges. The Manfrotto 509HD systems give you the advantage of total stability and fluidity. An advantage which allows you to go further, towards more dynamic, eye-opening and creative video.

ClassicBall 3 Ballhead - Supports 15.5 lb (7 kg) - Open Box*

Samy's Camera — Tue, 21 Aug 2012 07:00:00 GMT

*IMPORTANT NOTICE: This product is Open Box and may have minor scratches or imperfections. It includes all necessary accessories, however may be missing some items found in the original packaging. It has been inspected, appears to be in good working condition, and comes with the full manufacturer's warranty. If you are at all unsatisfied with its condition, you may return it for a full refund or exchange.

One glance at the ClassicBall, with its understated matt titanium finish, and it‘s clear that this is a high-precision instrument made to last.

In line with NOVOFLEX‘s well-known product policy, the ClassicBall is an all-metal design incorporating advanced polymer materials. As with other NOVOFLEX products, the ClassicBall 3 Ballhead was developed and is manufactured entirely at the company‘s plant in Memmingen, Germany. Completely new, and a world first in ball head design, are three 90° openings to take the ball neck that significantly increase the vertical adjustment range of the head. The camera can now swing smoothly through 180° vertically. Equally important is that having three 90° openings has been achieved with no loss of stability.

Working on the ClassicBall, NOVOFLEX development engineers aimed first and foremost to meet photographers‘ requirement for a precisely controllable and repeatable friction adjustment (braking) for the ball. The result was the new AFC (advanced friction adjustment). Integrated here for the first time, AFC allows photographers to set the friction on a setting ring in the center of the ball head. In other words, they can set the correct braking rate of the ball even before he attaches camera and lens. This is finally the end of trial and error adjustment. Getting the right
setting is now child‘s play, even with weighty telephoto lenses.

In contrast to other ball heads of this type, the ClassicBall makes it possible to lock the ball in position without any risk of even a slight shift in position. This feature comes into its own in macro photography where it is essential not to disturb the setting of a shot. As one would expect from a product of this caliber, the ClassicBall provides integrated 360° panning and two camera threads (1/4“ and 3/8“). The ball support is permanently grease-free.

All adjusting elements have been optimized for easy operation even under very difficult conditions. Photographers working in very low temperatures, for example, can set and check all functions reliably without removing their gloves. In designing the ClassicBall, NOVOFLEX engineers drew on practical experience and their deep knowledge of the problems encountered by professional photographers in their daily work. The company has gone to great lengths to achieve high stability and excellent resistance to vibration.

Features:

Three vertical 90° openings for the ball neck
New AFC (advanced friction control) system for precisely repeatable and defined friction preset
No more fumbling for friction, locking and panning knobs
Absolutely no change of ball position during locking, thanks to totally new design of the ball interior

ClassicBall 5 Ballhead - Supports 26.5 lb (12 kg) - Open Box*

Samy's Camera — Tue, 21 Aug 2012 07:00:00 GMT

*IMPORTANT NOTICE: This product is Open Box and may have minor scratches or imperfections. It includes all necessary accessories, however may be missing some items found in the original packaging. It has been inspected, appears to be in good working condition, and comes with the full manufacturer's warranty. If you are at all unsatisfied with its condition, you may return it for a full refund or exchange.

One glance at the ClassicBall, with its understated matt titanium finish, and it‘s clear that this is a high-precision instrument made to last.

In line with NOVOFLEX‘s well-known product policy, the ClassicBall is an all-metal design incorporating advanced polymer materials. As with other NOVOFLEX products, the ClassicBall 5 Ballhead was developed and is manufactured entirely at the company‘s plant in Memmingen, Germany. Completely new, and a world first in ball head design, are three 90° openings to take the ball neck that significantly increase the vertical adjustment range of the head. The camera can now swing smoothly through 180° vertically. Equally important is that having three 90° openings has been achieved with no loss of stability.

Working on the ClassicBall, NOVOFLEX development engineers aimed first and foremost to meet photographers‘ requirement for a precisely controllable and repeatable friction adjustment (braking) for the ball. The result was the new AFC (advanced friction adjustment). Integrated here for the first time, AFC allows photographers to set the friction on a setting ring in the center of the ball head. In other words, they can set the correct braking rate of the ball even before he attaches camera and lens. This is finally the end of trial and error adjustment. Getting the right
setting is now child‘s play, even with weighty telephoto lenses.

In contrast to other ball heads of this type, the ClassicBall makes it possible to lock the ball in position without any risk of even a slight shift in position. This feature comes into its own in macro photography where it is essential not to disturb the setting of a shot. As one would expect from a product of this caliber, the ClassicBall provides integrated 360° panning and two camera threads (1/4“ and 3/8“). The ball support is permanently grease-free.

All adjusting elements have been optimized for easy operation even under very difficult conditions. Photographers working in very low temperatures, for example, can set and check all functions reliably without removing their gloves. In designing the ClassicBall, NOVOFLEX engineers drew on practical experience and their deep knowledge of the problems encountered by professional photographers in their daily work. The company has gone to great lengths to achieve high stability and excellent resistance to vibration.

Features:

Three 90° openings for vertical positioning
AFC (advanced friction control) system
60mm Camera plate diameter
70mm Base diameter
Dry ball so finely machined that lubrication is unnecessary
All knobs are captive to prohibit falling off accidentally

Standard Ball Head II

Samy's Camera — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 08:00:00 GMT

Simple, reliable, inexpensive.
These three words sum up the Slik Standard Ball Head II, but they do not address the high quality standards to which this ball head is made. Using precision machined aluminum components and advanced high impact polymers, the Standard Ball Head II will yield years of trustworthy service.

A large, circular mount area will give your camera the proper support. The free-turning anti-scratch plate within the head will protect the bottom of your camera from damage and greatly reduce the likelihood that your camera could become jammed on the head.

The perfectly sized release lever makes releasing and locking the head in any position very convenient. It's easier to use than other ball heads having small release knobs that can be over tightened and make fine tension adjustments difficult.

The maximum recommended load is 5 lbs.
